Is using Reddit for dropshipping advertising suitable?

Is using Reddit for dropshipping advertising suitable? Does anyone here advertise their products on Reddit? I'm really unsure about the effectiveness of advertising on this platform.

Niche followers and stealth marketing is your best chance of making this work. Gotta be slick with it, native posts and engagement work way better than straight-up ads.

⚠ Redditors Hate Spam – If they sense you’re just there to sell, they’ll downvote and report your post.
⚠ Strict Moderation – Many subreddits don’t allow direct promotions, and violating rules can get you banned.
⚠ Ad CTR Can Be Low – If your ad looks too generic, Redditors may ignore it.

It's a great idea but it's much important to use a strategy that can help you target your interested audience as you discover in your product research

I learned redditors are mostly cost conscious people and it feels too competitive in there.
